Highlights
Pet care experience
Ex-NHS sister w/ 9yrs petcare exp!
I have kept dogs as a child and have been walking and boarding since October 2017. I have experience with small to large breeds and welcome males and females. I have many returners and provide a home-from-home experience. Boarders are taken for walks in my local parks in Solihull, which are tracked and photographed. I am a mature professional with grown up twins, who live away from home. This is my only job, so I am able to dedicate all of my time to your doggie whilst in my care. I enjoy walking and usually do 2-3km on one walk. I have worked as a senior manager and nurse in the NHS and enjoy meeting new pet owners.

Ratings and reviews
First time our dogs have gone to a dog sitter whilst we was on holiday we was nervous at first as we have very timid dogs and Ralph needs daily medication for his arthritis but Joy was absolutly amazing sending regular updates and photos which put my mind at ease straight away and when I picked them up they didn’t want to leave! We even got a little gift that joy had hand painted for us of the dogs which was such a lovely gesture. We will definately be using joy again to take care of our fur babies, wouldn’t ever use anyone else and would recommend her to anyone! Thanks again joy we will be back very soon
Lovely woman, sent lots of updates to reassure me my pup was doing ok! Brilliant communication and overall really lovely to deal with! Would 100% recommend. Lovely home.. and Skylar seems like she had a fab time.
Joy is an absolute gem! Our pup took to her instantly and was so well cared for… so much so that he didn’t want to leave! She kept his routine, sent regular photo updates, and handled last-minute changes without any fuss. Her communication was excellent and he came home happy, stimulated, and utterly content. We’ll 100% be booking again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joy to anyone looking for great care for their pet! She and her family are also just really lovely.
Thank you, Joy, for looking after Kushi on such short notice. Joy was lovely, communication was fast and easy throughout, and I would definitely use her services again. I would highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to look after their dog.
Jasper stayed with joy for two days she kept us updated with picture he absolutely enjoyed himself will definitely be using joy again thanks a million 😊
Joy was an amazing help! Our pup was happy from the minute we dropped her until we picked her up! Always wagging her tail. Would definitely recommend !

Schedule
Pet care is my sole (and all time favourite!) job, so your pet will receive my devoted attention and I will always prioritise any petcare routines.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My garden is very secure for dogs to enjoy games and roaming. I can be trusted in your own home caring for your pet (play/affection).
A typical day
Enjoyable walks in local parks in Solihull. Taking to Dog friendly cafes if happy with this arrangement. Ball games in the garden. Play inside the home.
